FIGS. 3A and 3B are perspective views of the outboard marine engine with the cowling and certain components removed.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In the present description, certain terms have been used for brevity, clarity and understanding. No unnecessary limitations are to be inferred therefrom beyond the requirement of the prior art because such terms are used for descriptive purposes only and are intended to be broadly construed.
FIGS. 1-3B depict an outboard marine engine 10 for propelling a marine vessel in water. The outboard marine engine 10 extends from a top side 12 to a bottom side 14 in a vertical direction V, from a starboard side 16 to a port side 18 in a transverse direction T that is perpendicular to the vertical direction V, and from a forward side 20 to an aftward side 22 in a longitudinal direction L that is perpendicular to the vertical direction V and perpendicular to the transverse direction T. As is conventional, the outboard marine engine 10 includes an internal combustion engine 24 that is configured to power a propulsor (not shown) to provide a propulsive thrust in the longitudinal direction L for propelling the noted marine vessel in water.
The internal combustion engine 24 includes a crank case 28, a cylinder block 30, a cylinder head 31, and a valve cover 32. An exhaust manifold 26 is bolted on to the internal combustion engine 24 and is configured to convey exhaust gas away from the internal combustion engine 24. As further explained herein below, the exhaust manifold 26 is configured to convey the exhaust gas away from the cylinder block 30 and cylinder head 31 and longitudinally, rearwardly towards the valve cover 32.
Referring to FIGS. 4A-4F, the exhaust manifold 26 includes a plurality of exhaust runners 34 that transversely and longitudinally convey the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine 24, an exhaust log 36 that vertically upwardly conveys the exhaust gas from the exhaust runners 34, and an exhaust elbow 38 that vertically downwardly conveys the exhaust gas from the exhaust log 36.
The number of exhaust runners 34 can vary from that which is shown, and typically will depend upon the number of corresponding piston-cylinders in the internal combustion engine 24. In the example shown, three exhaust runners 34 are coupled to three corresponding piston-cylinders 33 (see FIG. 2) of the internal combustion engine 24. Referring to FIG. 2, each exhaust runner 34 includes an upstream inlet 40 that transversely conveys the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine 24 and a downstream outlet 42 that longitudinally conveys the exhaust gas from the upstream inlet 40 to the exhaust log 36. Each exhaust runner 34 is curved between the upstream inlet 40 and downstream outlet 42. From the upstream inlet 40 to the downstream outlet 42, each exhaust runner 34 initially extends generally transversely, then curves until it extends generally longitudinally. The downstream outlet 42 of each exhaust runner 34 is connected to the exhaust log 36 which extends vertically. Thus, the exhaust gas flows longitudinally from the exhaust runners 34 and then vertically, upwardly through the exhaust log 36.
Referring to FIG. 4C, the exhaust elbow 38 includes an inlet end 44 that vertically upwardly conveys the exhaust gas from the exhaust log 36, an outlet end 46 that vertically downwardly conveys the exhaust gas, and a curved intermediate section 48 that re-routes the exhaust gas from a vertically upward flow to a vertically downward flow. A generous space or gap 50 is formed between the inlet end 44, curved intermediate section 48, and outlet end 46 so that the exhaust elbow 38 widely forms a smooth curved transition for more efficient flow of exhaust gas there along.
An exhaust conduit 52 is coupled to and vertically downwardly conveys the exhaust gas from the exhaust elbow 38. The type and configuration of the exhaust conduit 52 can vary from that which is shown. Optionally, the exhaust conduit 52 can include a catalyst housing 54 and a catalyst 56 (see FIG. 4C) disposed in the catalyst housing 54 for treatment of the exhaust gas, as is conventional.
Referring to FIG. 4E, one or more generously-sized spaces or gaps 58 are formed between the internal combustion engine 24, the one or more exhaust runners 34 and the exhaust log 36. The gaps 58 efficiently provide manual access to a corresponding plurality of spark plugs on the internal combustion engine 24.
Optionally, a cooling jacket 60 (FIG. 4C) can be provided on all or portions of the exhaust manifold 26. The cooling jacket 60 can be configured to convey relatively cold cooling water alongside the exhaust manifold 26 for heat exchange with the exhaust gas flowing there through.
Through research and experimentation, the present inventors have found that the above described configuration for an outboard marine engine 10, including the unique exhaust manifold 26, provides a compact arrangement that accommodates tight packaging limitations without requiring relocation of surrounding equipment, such as oil filters and other similar devices. By re-routing the exhaust gas rearwardly, away from the cylinder block 30 and longitudinally towards the valve cover 32, respectively, the noted catalyst housing 54 can be placed in the same general area as prior art arrangements. Unlike the prior art, the exhaust manifold 26 conveys exhaust gas longitudinally, rearwardly and then vertically over the noted exhaust runners 34 to the vertically downwardly extending exhaust conduit 52 including the optional catalyst housing 54. The exhaust manifold 26 conveniently provides access to spark plugs on the internal combustion engine 24, longitudinally between the exhaust runners 34 and the exhaust log 36. Unjacketed portions of the exhaust manifold 26 can be implemented to provide better access to the noted spark plugs. The generous radius of the exhaust elbow 38 allow for minimal flow loss and an ability to develop the flow adequately to obtain sufficient make efficient use of the catalyst. This also provides functional and performance advantages over the prior art.
